Pros

-Very friendly and cool coworkers. -Free food during lunch break, 50% off while not working. -Room for growth. -Helpful coworkers. -Clean and, for the most part, organized work environment.

Cons

-Random work hours. (Ex: One day you'll work 4 hours, rest of the week off, then you come back to a 8+ hour shift) -You are always hustling, working as hard and as fast as you can. -Lack of work place communication. -Unbalanced work loads. I feel like all positions should have the same amount of work, but some positions are worked 10 times as hard as others and yet still recieve equal pay!

Pros

Co-workers at my restaurant were crazy and fun to work with. Free meals, plus discount. You learn to work at a fast pace. Decent benefits. Food is good (not compared to real Mexican food though). You get hours.

Cons

Managers had lack of competency, professionalism and organizational skills. Your salary could be better for the work you do. Work can be stressful, especially for managers. Everything seemed fake, from the way managers made every employee feel like they have a say, to the way the managers say they actually care about anything. (That seemed pretty pessimistic and exaggerated but Chipotle really tries too hard to change the meaning of fast food).
